I love it. Would like more levels, though, and my biggest complaint? It’s only fun if you eventually win a game. I’ve been on level 6, now for two weeks and I can’t win it. Please let me get past level 6, it’s getting boring. ### 4/5 — Level 40 *2020-02-22, version 1.11.2* Seven years - SEVEN YEARS and I’m still stuck on level 40 alongside two other ‘players’ who always fail with exactly the same score each time..... ### 3/5 — Disappointing *2020-02-09* I have bought this game twice but about every third time i open it, it comes with ads. I refuse to continue to buy it for ad free. ### 3/5 — Love it ....BUT *2019-10-06* I really enjoy the game of Bubblez, it’s relaxing, fun and I never get tired of it after all these years (at least 10!). That said, there is a new add for gambling/casino games that comes on between games that is sheer pornography. The download is rated for mature adults and depicts semi nude women in bondage scenes. It is ruining the game of Bubblez which is rated 4+ Family. So basically you have to pay to allow your kids to play safely. NOT right! **Developer response:** Hello! We apologize for the inconvenience! Please email us about this issue in more detail at support@absolutist.com. ### 3/5 — Why? *2015-01-31* Why on earth does a player have to pay to get more levels?? That is just unfair!! Some of the levels are hard enough without having to pay for more after you have accomplished some!!! Otherwise the game is fun. ### 4/5 — Jeromejo14 *2014-10-04* This is one of my favorite games. I am very disappointed that I can't play it anymore after updating my iPad. ### 5/5 — Bubble defence *2014-09-30, version 1.2.3* GAME HAS STOPPED WORKNG,had this game for years and love it,very addictive,but upgrade doesn't work ### 3/5 — bubble shooter *2014-08-10, version 1.2.3* OK game. However, once I realised it wasn't a 'multiplayer' game with real players, it kind of took the edge of competitiveness off and took some of my enjoyment away. There are a limited amount of computer generated 'people' that appear to be playing against you, but in fact they aren't real, its just you against the machine. Bit of a misdescription. I only noticed it because I got stuck on a level for ages and the same name 'Aileen' came up several times and 'she' did a weird move that sent the ball at an oblique angle bouncing off the walls about a dozen times and I kept noticing it out of the corner of my eye each time I 'played' against her. ### 4/5 — Question *2014-07-31, version 1.2.3* Is there a way to start over? ### 3/5 — Crash *2014-02-22, version 1.1* Game keeps crashing before it even starts. Fix please! ### 5/5 — Addictive *2014-02-17, version 1.1* If you love any kind of bubble shooter games, you will like this one! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Game *2024-09-28* My new favorite game. I love it. Would like more levels, though, and my biggest complaint? It’s only fun if you eventually win a game. I’ve been on level 6, now for two weeks and I can’t win it. Please let me get past level 6, it’s getting boring. Update: I knocked the game down to one star. I’ve been playing this game for over 2 months and I’m highly disappointed, they either make you keep playing one level for way too long till you finally start getting tired and you fail the level, or you gotta play each level at least 100 times before you finally beat the level. I’m honestly thinking about deleting it. I guess these guys never got the memo that people only play games that they can win at least after 9 or 10 tries. **Developer response:** Hello! We are very sorry that you are not happy with our game. We try to make it more diverse with every update. That is why it really has some pretty difficult moments, but they are all passable. We are sure that you will definitely do it! ### 1/5 — Bubblez *2017-11-10* Having gotten to Level 44 about 4 months ago, I find I can go no further no matter how long I play it. Apparently this was by design on the part of the programmer.......this is unfortunate. With no incentive to go further, it feels like I am hitting my head against the screen in frustration, my guess is Absolutist does not care at all. Hmmm, there are other companies that present games that allow progress in gameplay, not a wall!!!! Most frustrating, .........fail!!!!! ### 1/5 — So Annoyed at this ripoff *2014-10-20* After the most recent update of this app, I lost all the levels I had currently been on because it required me to start under a new ID. Next, I find out it expects me to upgrade and pay 99 cents again to get to the extra levels!!! Total ripoff! If you provide an upgrade to your program, don't require me to pay again for all the other levels!!! Don't lose my user ID with the new upgrade!!! ### 1/5 — Paid for it and can't play it! *2014-10-07, version 1.2.3* Upgraded iOS on iPad and now it won't work. Waste of money. ### 1/5 — Not worth paying for *2013-07-21, version 1.1* Enjoyed playing but will not pay for the pleasure ### 2/5 — Level 39 *2024-10-29* I have been trying for over a year to pass this level and it seems impossible. I wonder if the creative of this game is not anymore interested and gave up. You should let us know if this is the case so we stop playing and wasted time. Shame because I like this game. This is the second time I’m writing and obviously nothing is been done to correct the game. How is it possible to play level 39 for over a year and not be able to pass it? The game need to be fix. Or tell us it’s an old game and you can’t fix it so we stop trying. And take it off the App Store. **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for the feedback! We are so sorry that the game upsets you. We make every effort to create a game that will appeal to all players. We are working to improve it! ### 2/5 — Level 39 *2024-09-29* I have been trying for over a year to pass this level and it seems impossible.

Sorry but I have deleted your game from my iPad. ### 2/5 — Addictive but... *2014-12-12* The game was fun until you reach level 39. I have tried to solve that one for over three years and have come to the conclusion that it is mathematically impossible to solve. If I am wrong I would like to see proof. ### 2/5 — Fun *2014-06-07, version 1.2.3* I wish you could go to the beginning and get better before you go on. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Game *2024-08-22* My new favorite game. I love it. Would like more levels, though ### 5/5 — Still love it! *2023-11-03* No matter it’s been 15 years, lol…. ### 5/5 — Paid but still getting loads of ads *2022-01-14, version 1.11.2* Now it says 'no internet connection' if that's the case how am i able to get on here? This happens often and i cant find why to fix it otherwise i love this game been playing i for years. ### 5/5 — Bubbelz *2019-06-27, version 1.9.2* I have been playing this game on and of for years and really like it, but level 39 is a killer,every time I think i am going to finish it, i never have just cant do it, after 3 years you would think i could have completed it by now ### 5/5 — Bubblez *2019-03-10, version 1.9.2* I love this game, and have played it for years. I leave it periodically when I get into other things, but always return. I really really wish they would add to the levels though, as I am now getting heartily fed up of replaying the final one over and over. ### 5/5 — Just challenging enough... *2018-06-15* ...to be a bit more interesting and engaging than the usual match three games. ### 5/5 — Addictictive *2015-08-06, version 1.6.2* And has been for years ### 5/5 — Happy Now?! *2015-03-06, version 1.1* Addicted to this game, couldn't continue until I wrote a review. ### 5/5 — Bubblez is cool! *2015-02-14, version 1.5.2* Love it ! Very challenging. ### 5/5 — Great game *2014-11-13, version 1.3.3* Love the levelled play. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
